Scroll to see what he had to say about the happy news
A LOVE Island star has revealed he is soon set to be a father - eight years after his time on the dating show.
He entered the Love Island villa in series three, lasting just over 30 days.
Taking to Instagram, Jonny Mitchell revealed he and his partner Simone Engelhardt are expecting their first child.
He captioned: "Well.. she’s getting too big to keep this a secret much longer
"As Bella Ramsey would say - I’m gonna be a dad.
"I don’t post much personal stuff on here, but I’ll make an exception for this.
"Anyone who knows me well, knows that I was never a massive fan of the idea of kids.
"But I think it’s something that you don’t really feel until you have a woman in your life who you know will be an amazing mother.
"Which I know @engelhardtlund will be.
"So it’s safe to say I’ve warmed up to the idea.
"Life has been an endless rollercoaster of unexpected twists and turns over the past decade, it’s hard to imagine where we were even 5 years ago to where we are now.
"And it looks like the next chapter is here right on time!
"Baby Mitchell coming end of the year, let’s hope i can figure this whole Dad thing out."
One follower commented: "This is beautiful congratulations to u two."
Another added: "Wow omg that’s amazing! Congrats to you both."
A third shared: "Oh my gosh congratulations!!
"What a beautiful blessing!"
A fourth chimed in: "Congratulations so pleased for you both."
